6 weeks old

Mummy and Daddy took me to the hospital this week for my hearing test. Everything went fine and my hearing is ok - so I'll be able to hear when Mummy and Daddy are talking about me!
The doctor asked me to be as still and quiet as a mouse and he made me listen to funny noises through special baby earphones. It was a bit like when Mummy and Daddy listen to sounds with those white grown-up earphones that Daddy calls an Ipod. Mummy and Daddy said I did really well as I kept very still and quiet for the Doctor.

I also went for my weigh-in at the baby clinic - I'm now 7lb 15oz! I'm getting much bigger and more alert and starting to look around more. I'm also starting to dribble a bit - Mummy thinks it might be my gums getting ready for my teeth but I don't think they'll come through for a while! I've also spent a bit of time with Daddy watching the Tour de France. I'm looking forward to getting my own bike but I'll have to make sure that I get Daddy to teach me how to ride as I think Mummy's a bit wobbly when it comes to cycling!

I've been a bit restless this week when Daddy's tried to put me to bed and a few nights I've been waking Mummy up more times than I usually do. I think I might be going through a growth spurt - that's what it says in Mummys book that the health visitor gave her - growth spurts happen at 6 weeks and then again at 3 months.

This week Mummy bought me a baby carrier. We're still getting used to all the straps and buckles on it but I'm quite liking it. I like being close to Mummy and don't really like being left on my own in my moses basket - the baby carrier means that she can carry me whilst still doing stuff around the house - I'm sure it will be a big help!
